Jeroen Jacobs / Tony Just
Lost and Found
exhibition 19 June – 25 July 2009
Wednesday – Saturday 11 am – 6 pm and by appointment
Sommer & Kohl are pleased to present the exhibition Lost and Found with new works by Jeroen Jacobs and Tony Just.
On his walks through the city, Tony Just finds missing reports for run-away dogs and cats. In our exhibition, he will show pastel drawings based on these images. For the artist, the motifs have a highly charged emotional meaning, which he appropriates in the studio and transfers to canvas or paper. Tony Just is concerned with composition, colour and with letting a work develop slowly, giving it space. Charged with sensitivity and empathy, these animal portraits develop their own character.
Jeroen Jacobs' works result from observing the material world in relation to its obvious and its hidden properties. In his studio, which he understands as a laboratory where transformations and production processes take place, he concentrates on the spaces in-between things that surround him. For example, he casts the corners of his studio space in cement, a detached metal strip becomes a drawing or a table turned by 90° transforms into a painting. His affinity for form, material, process and space expands the surroundings of his studio into the first frame for his works. With an assured feeling for space and materials he develops new sculptures for our exhibition.
Jeroen Jacobs (*1968, Helmond, NL) lives and works in Berlin. This year, his works have been on view in "Selected Artists, Stipendiaten des Arbeitsstipendiums für bildende Kunst des Berliner Senats", NGBK, Berlin and at Cluster, Berlin.
Tony Just (*1969, Maryland, USA) lives and works in Berlin. 2008 he had solo exhibitions at Gavin Brown’s enterprise in New York and at Galerie Maisonneuve in Paris. At the moment, his work is on view in the exhibition "Cave Painting" at PSM, Berlin (until 18 July 2009).
For further information and/or images please contact Sommer & Kohl. In August, the gallery is open by appointment only.
